saturday morning breakfast

This just in: German pancake! Yesterday at Trader Joe's I found some yummy looking blueberry sauce, so of course this morning I wanted to try it out. I got the recipe for the German pancake from my Chinaberry cookbook. It's crazy easy.

German Pancake

1/4 c. butter3 eggs1/3 c. flour1/3 c. milk1/2 t. vanilla extract

Put the 1/4 c. butter in pan (I used a cast iron skillet--I think it's about 9 inches) in a 450 oven and let it melt. While the butter is melting, whir together the other ingredients in a blender (I don't know if the blender is important or necessary but I did it, just to be sure). Pour the batter into the skillet of melted butter and return to the oven for 15 minutes or until the edges are brown and crispy.

You can squeeze a lemon wedge over it and dust with powdered sugar, and we also used some of the blueberry sauce.

The boys were not as impressed as I was. I find that adults are the ones who really like things with crispy edges and children like soft interiors. Go figure. Fortunately Ken was eating too, which prevented me from finishing off the rest of it entirely on my own.

Thanks so much for this recipe Mary Beth. We made it this morning and it was as delicious as your photos made it look and super easy. We will be making this again and again. I have put a link to your recipe from my blog, hope you don’t mind.Kylie
